Claims

A cable assembly,
A plurality of wires each having a first end and a second end opposite thereto;
The first ends of the plurality of wires are secured to each other in a first order arrangement;
The second ends of the plurality of wires are secured together in a second ordered arrangement based on the first arrangement;
The plurality of wires have an intermediate portion between the first end and the second end, the intermediate portions being separated from each other ; and
A sheath comprising an inner braided shield, wherein the shield is adapted to loosely support an intermediate portion of the plurality of wires relative to the shield;
A cable assembly characterized by that.

The cable assembly according to claim 1, wherein the first end and the second end are formed in a ribbon shape.

The first ends of the plurality of wires are arranged parallel and adjacent to each other in a selected order, and the second ends of the plurality of wires are adjacent to and parallel to each other in the selected order. The cable assembly according to claim 1, wherein the cable assembly is arranged.

4. A cable assembly according to claim 3, including indicia on the first end and on the second end for identifying respective ends of the first wire in the sequence.

The cable assembly of claim 1, including a plurality of sets of wires, wherein the plurality of wires are secured within each set, the sets being separated from each other.

6. A cable assembly according to claim 5, including on each end of each set of wires, indicia for identifying the set of wires and distinguishing the set of wires from other sets of wires. .

The cable assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of wires is completely non-conductive except for the central conductor.

The cable assembly of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of wires is separated from a conductor of an adjacent wire by the non-conductive insulating material only at the end portion.

The cable assembly according to claim 1, wherein each wire includes an insulating layer that separates the conductors of the wire from each other.

The cable assembly according to claim 9, wherein the insulating layers are connected to each other at the ends.

The cable assembly of claim 1, wherein an intermediate portion of the wire is loosely received within the sheath.

The cable assembly of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of wires includes a single central conductor.

A cable assembly,
A plurality of wires each having a first end and a second end opposite thereto;
